Hello families and friends of Year 5,

It has been a successful and busy term already and the students are gearing up for their end of semester work. We are also preparing for our upcoming Athletics Carnival and getting excited about competing down at Andoom Oval.

Across English this term the students have already been exploring informative texts and the structure and language features used to engage an audience. We have also sorted out key features of a paragraph and begun to draft our own responses.

In Religion the students have been looking at the Catholic and Jewish ways to pray. We have enjoyed exploring the purpose of a Sabbath and what it means to have time to rest.

Across Maths, the students are investigating chance events and decimals, fractions and percentages. The students are showing great growth in representing, ordering and adding decimals.. as it is sometimes tricky when we trade numbers across the place value chart!

Moving forward this term Year 5 will be presenting on assembly during Week 8 – for Mabo Day. All are welcome to attend, as is the same with our Athletics Carnival. More information is to come on times and event schedules, so please keep an eye out for any emails or seesaw messages.

Kind Regards,

Emily
